Telangana wants its next generation of doctors trained in robotic surgery, plans six-month training for PG students

Telangana is planning to introduce a six-month training program in robotic surgery for postgraduate medical students in order to expand the use of advanced robotic procedures across its government hospitals. This proposal, put forth by Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha, aims to create a trained workforce capable of handling robotic surgery and to prevent the technology from remaining concentrated in a few premier institutions.

The initiative is part of Telangana's broader efforts to build a statewide pool of surgeons trained in robotic procedures, with surgeons currently being trained at the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) and MNJ Cancer Institute.
